Call for Work: Deadline 1 June 2008
CALL FOR ARTISTS
imPOSTERs - An Exhibition of Real Posters for Unreal Bands
Showing in Gallery Visio at the University of Missouri – St. Louis
As the title of the show would suggest, we are looking for artists to create a poster in order to promote a completely fictional band. We came up with the following suggestions to get you started: The Cheddar Campers, Jupiter for Sale, Thesaurus Attack, The Frog Nine, and Tanned Mannequins. Be creative; the possibilities are endless (and hilarious).
Art will be exhibited in classic "poster show" fashion by bulldog clips fastened to the walls. No artwork will be framed, mounted, or matted.
Gallery Visio will charge a $15 acceptance fee per artist (not per work), payable on the drop off date. There is no application fee, and there is no commission; artists will retain 100% of sales.
Deadline for received submissions is June 1, 2008. UMSL Professor of Design Jen McKnight will jury work. (Bonus points are given to awesome names.)
Exhibition runs July 17 - August 21, 2008.
The Rules:
- Poster must promote an entirely fictional band
- Design must include band name
- Design must include fictional date and venue
- Design may include optional website, time, address, etc.
- Poster must be on paper
- Paper size 11 x 14 to 19 x 25
- May be printed by hand or digitally
To submit your poster(s) for review, send an email to galvisio@umsl.edu with your JPGs attached with subject line "POSTER SHOW ENTRY" (please limit image size to 500kb or less). There is no limit to how many separate posters may be submitted.
